Default School LAN Party for charity?

For my senior project, I want to have a huge LAN Party at my school with about a $5-$10 admission fee, and with the money raised from it, donate it to a homeless shelter or something. There would probably be around 30-75 people at this and they would all have to bring their own computers of course. We had an all school LAN party about 4 years ago and the school administration had no problem with it. Do you think this would be a good idea?

Instead of giving the money to the homeless shelter, why don't you give it to the school?

I don't think the homeless deserve to be given money. JMHO

Well, it was just an idea. I'm not keeping the money for myself.

No, I know that. I don't think you would be able to keep the money anyway. I was just thinking that you could possibly put it towards your class.

When I was a senior in Highschool, our prom cost us $1.00 b/c of things we did during the year that made the school money... Just a thought.
